Outside the Beltway

A Report from the Field (Alabama Primary Edition)

James Joyner notes, with some amazement, that Mitt Romney is currently leading the polling Alabama.  He rightly notes the nature of the three-way race and how that plays into the numbers.

I would also note, as a resident of the state, that Romney’s SuperPac, Restore Our Future, has been spending a ton of money in the state.

I, personally, have received a number of mailings and numerous robocalls.  I have received nothing from the Gingrich or Santorum camps.

My anecdotal evidence is backed by a report from NPR this morning  that noted substantial spending by Restore Our Future in the state of Alabama (I looked, but no link).
